------------------------------------------------------

+1 for a thin wrapper/interface approach allowing different javascript frameworks to be plugged in. jQuery is my preferred library but I don't agree in forcing people to switch from Prototype. Need to also stop Prototype taking ownership of the $ symbol, I shouldn't really have to write $j or j$ everywhere.

> Like rats deserting a sinking ship ...
> This is not a definitive requirement; I've created this issue to promote discussion.
> It's quite likely that a move like this could be accomplished quite smoothly for users who are meerly consumers of JavaScript components; authors of JavaScript components would have to make some changes.
> Possibly we should code the jQuery stack from the get-go to NOT use the $() method, but instead use j$(). That extra character to type could make all the difference is allowing a smooth upgrade, where jQuery becomes the default, but prototype/scriptaculous can still be used.
> Possibly a new annotation, @PrototypeSupport for components to ensure that the Prototype libraries are available for compatibility?
